You'll still need to set up the software and drivers.

Man!  Stop this nonsense about "I have no idea how to set it up".  I've seen you post comments like that before and I am really getting sick of seeing them.  None of us had a flipping clue what we were doing at one point.  We all sat down, pulled out an instruction manual, read a little bit, researched, Googled, and asked questions when we got stuck.  No one is going to hand you the answer on a silver platter, unless you get lucky enough to find a really bored, experienced Amigan in your area.  But it's not that hard!  It's not rocket science!  And if you would just read and research the forums you'd find all the information you need to get a CD drive working with your A500.

Instead of just throwing up your hands and saying "I can't do it", at least TRY.  :D

I second that, what is with people these days. You have a brain, use it. If you need someone to walk you through things or need help setting it up ask and someone will try their best to help you. We are in the information age besides, nearly anything can be found on youtube or google.  Anyone can learn this stuff.

Totally agree, 100%. I've got some other SCSI drives (both internal and external) buried in my storage locker, but I'm a little nervous about replacing one 20+ year old drive for another 20+ year old drive. I think you mentioned one (rare, expensive) SCSI-to-CF adapter earlier - are there any others I should be looking for, possibly ones that won't require an organ sale to procure?

Alternately, I think I'll be buying one of the "kipper" adapters soon anyway, which might make it a moot point...

another option is to get a acard 7720U scsi to ide bridge and use a cf to ide adapter, allows a cf inside. its a great solution.
